TWILIGHT.

The shadows are yelling the brow Of the hills,
And vapors are soothing the murmuring rills,
While Twilight-the daughter Of sunshine and
shade
Is Queen of the evening, in glory arraycd
She gracefully mantles the waning OF day,
And welcomes the evening in golden array;
Yet softens the glimmering curtain of light
With shadows that melt on the bosom Of night.
Triumphant she rides on the bllows Of fire,
With chnplct OF jewels, in qucenly attire;
In gold-tinted armor she flashes ier blade,
And marshals the stars in their nightly parade!
With coursers unheedcd, undaunted they run,
Whose footsteps oil follow the path Of the sun,
When softly unfolding her curtain Of blue
AL spangled with silver, she waves her adieu.
Thus onward forever with banners unfurled,
Her halo OF glory enrnptures the world,
While sentinel stars on the borders of night
Sow herald the vast consultations Of light.
In silsnce IL millions Of systems revolvedS
In siicnce its problcms are ever unsolved;
In silence we gaze on the boundless domain,
Where infinite order andharmony reign.
When, 10 from the verge OF the measureless
deep,
Where numbcrless ages all silently sleep,
Aurora energies from cycles unborn,
With Twilight to hail the glad tidings Of morn,
United they iningle in loving embrace,
Expanding their pinions new regions to grace,
Dissolving the shadows with orient light,
And melting the stars from the bosom of night
While Earth, in response to the language Of
flowers,
In rapture arises from star-lighted bowers;
Unvailing her features she wendeth her way
To the radiant realms of the monarch of day.
The birds sweetly carol their matinal lays,
And Nature responds with her chorus Of praise,
While dowdrops that fell by invisible showers,
Are jewels aflame on the bosom OF flowers.
Thus oft in our pathway from darkness forlorn,
The tenr-drops of night are the jewels Of morn,
And hopes that are buried and shrouded in
gloom
Like seeds are well planted in fragrance to
bloom.
Every sigh that ia hushed on the bosom Of night
Is song as 1t walxens and welcomes the light,
While hope, brightly dawnng illumines the way
From Twilight OF morning to Infinite day.

CHINESE AILMENTS.
Dyspepsia the Most Prevalent in the Long
List of Diseases.

Dyspepsia the Most Prevalent in the Long
List of Diseases.
Medical work in the capital of China
does not differ very much from the Or
dinary run of practice in any large city
of the United States. Owing to the
healthfulness of the climate the ma
tives, as rule, enjoy very good health.
BY far the most frequent cases that
come to the dispensary are those re-
lating to the digestive tract. One who
has ever seen the Chinese eat will not
wonder at this. A bowl of food is
placed under the chin and the contents
scooped into the mouth with most as
tonishing rapidity, The process is re-
peated until bowlful after bowlful has
disappeared, the only limit as to guam
tity seemingly being the amount which
can be got hold of.
The poorer classes depend chiefly on
rice for food, getting the necessary
heterogeneous elements not from meat,
but from curd made from beans. On
this simple diet it is astonishing what
an amount of work coolie will do.
Hence, both rapidity of eating and
the quantity consumed tend to produce
all the forms of distress after meals.
that are classed under the head of
dyspepsia. In fact, the Chinaman
whose "heart's-mouth' has never
panied is seldom to be met with. This
.'heart's mouth" is favorite locality
with the Chinese as a seat Of disease.
Il 1rro Nf
the dissection of the human body, and
their notion of it's construction and
operations is based chiefly on the i'm
agination. To the Chinese anatomist
everything below the skin is "terra
incognita." The brain he puts in the
stomach, the seat of courage is in the
liver, the bladder communicates di-
rectly with the mouth by a tube into
which all liquids swallowed find their
their way. while hole in the heart has
some mysterious relations with tho
stomach, and to this orifce is ascribed
much of the pain consequent on indi-
gestion.
In this connection l must not fail to
speak of worms" This is not an at
tractive subject to the general reader,
but an important one to study up for

PEOPLE want to know how to make
living in this section. Los Angeles
County has a population approximate
ing $50 900 souls. These souls could
all live on climate, or without even
tina. if they were disembodied; but
they are mostly represented by a rather
robust physique. The outer man
must be fed. We are importing poul-
try from the East by carloads. We
are getting eggs by the same source
in liberal quantities. The latest
thing to get here the East
is butter by the carload. Potatoes
are being hauled here from Kansas.
This is true, while right here is the
finest land under the sun TO produce
all these pecessaries OF life. We should
be exporting all of them. Think OF
one firm getting in a week four cars OF
Kansas eggs, for which $4,000 went
out Of the community Think OF
paving $4,000 a week to San Luis
Obispo county for butter The
statement has been often made
but it loses none of its force by reiter-
alton, that patch OF ten acres OF good
soil hereabouts will support family.
We need not plant it to trees and wait
five years for a crop. Ten acres OF al
falfa for mich COWS, chickens and hogs
will do. Try it, and see how it works
Land for this purpose is worth so to
5000 per acre.

OcR ESTEEMED evening contempt
rary very gracefully acknowledges
that it did not mean what it said
about the veracity and sagacity OF the
Democratic party. 1t states that its
remarks were obviously not meant to
apply to the rank and file Of the par.
ty; that the average OF one party is as
good as that Of another. Its criticism,
it states, was leveled at the leaders Of
the party. II the purport OF its previ-
GUS remarks were obvious, its ex-
PLANTATION is bit obscure. We
have heard Of the blind leading the
blind, but never before, even in para
BILE, heard of such bold fight OF the
Imagination as that Of the blind lead
ing those with eyes. II the party in
it's rank and file is made up of fairly
wise and honest men, how is it that
they follow the leadership of gang
of fools and liars?

doubtful if they can, taking all the
advantage of the boom, go out
of Office and earn as much
at any other business as they
draw from the public till. But these
are not the real reasons which we feel
should safely guide the Council IN
this regard. In short time the
Freeholders will do their work, and 1t
will not be long to wait until We shall
be able to act under a new municipal
charter. Why not let things remain
as they are for the present, and let the
Freeholders attend to this. They will
most assuredly raise many OF the sal
aries of the city officials. And the
hardship of waiting for their action
will not be great.

Ak ESTEEMED morning eontempo-
rary OF strong Republican bias. in
screed about month before the city
election, called upon its party to elect
. majority of the Council. The
reason, rather naively given, was in
order to rescue the city from the
spectacle of seeing al indecent
scramble for "the small spoils tt
Office" At the time we thought our
neighbour wrong. We nov see he
was right. The only way TO have
reached the object in view was evi-
IDENTIFY to have elected a Republican
Council. We feel half sorry this was
not done. Had il been SO ordered,
the Democrats would in all decency
have kept their fingers out OF the
official pie, and they would not have
spoiled the official soup by having too
many cooks concoct it. The old
officials would have just held on until
some of the bosses had demanded
their head. Well, the local Democracy
took off their coats and did some ri hit
yeomanlike service for their candi-
dates. The results are before us.
And now comes the scramble-inde-
cent enough-for the "small spoils CT
office" We note our Republican
neighbor is doing a smooth stroke OF
work to help on the scramble from
time to time. 1t is not the purpose
OF the Republican officials to let go
their offices. 1t is not the purpose OF
the party that they shall let go, If by
any hook or crook they can hold on.
Now, there are in this city certain
dozens OF pretty capable fellows who
always vote the Democratic ticket,
who would sacrifice their personal
interests in order to serve the people
in a most honest and efficient manner.
The member of the Council who owes
his election to faithful services OF this
sm all army Of honest, clean, capable
fellows; and who, in spite OF this
obligation, goes on record as an
in CRATE, and votes that there is no
one except Republican capable or
honest enough to hold an Office, had
better get down on his knees before
some sacred shrine and vow never to
run for office again. If there is none
capable of filing an office but Re-
publican, and none honest enough to
hold trust but a Republican, then
there is vast army OF honest
and capable men in this community
who have heretofore mistaken their
politics. When they vainly imagined
they we're Democrats, they have been
wrong; and the quicker they get into
the only panty which can furnish
ofiice-holders the better. This army
of voters will not give their suffrage
again to those who judge their fellow
Democrats unworthy to hold trust.
Democratic officials, put yourselves
on record and let the party know your
estimate of your party associates.

COUNTY TAXES.
An Extension of Time for Pay
ment lmpessible.

Tomorrow will be the last day on
which county taxes can be paid with
out the addition Of five per cent on
account of delinquency. The tax
levy this year amounted to about
81 ,200, 900, and of this only tride
over one-half has been collected to
date. 1t is not expected that over
$500 900 will have been collected
when tomorrow night is reached. 1t
was thought, in view of the immense
amount outstanding, that an extern
sion of time might be obtained, but
the following telegram received by
Supervisor Venable shows that any
more time is impossible:

Los ANGELES has magnificent op-
portunity to distinguish herself above
all the cities of the globe in the mat
ter of fine streets. Verdure and
bloom are perennial here. Flowers
and shrubs require but little care.
Trees grow with u most astonishing
rapidly. To any one who has seen
some OF the streets OF Chicago, or who
has visited Cleveland, or walked along
Delaware avenue in Buffalo, our finest
streets look shabby in comparison.
Ours should excel in glory the best oil
them. In Western New York such
villages as Batavia, or Cornellsville,
or Avon have all their streets aligned
with beautiful trees. The elms of
these places required half a genera
ton to grow up. What twenty-five
years did ier them five will do for us.
Our city is growing rapidly. We are
getting Il great many fine residences ;
and the gardens are often very
beautiful. But this is only mere be-
ginning of what should be done. He
does not his full duty tohis neighbors,
and no one acts most wisely for his
own interest who does not embeliish
his garden to the utmost. This is a
bit OF public spirit and enterprise which
makes life more to us all every day
that VIC live; and at the same time
makes our property worth more in
money when we come to sell it.

THE COUNCIL, at its meeting to-
morrow, is understood to have it in
mind to raise the salaries on nearly
all the city payroll. The Repub-
lean Council, which disbanded Il
couple OF weeks since, set the prece-
dent by raising the salary Of the City
Clerk. In view of the fact that the
capable and aiiable gentleman who
fills that position was perfectly will
ing to assume those duties at the old
salary, and in view OF the fact that
now, being a Republican and
holding office under coun-
Gil which is Democratic
by a rather large majority, it would
seem as if this act OF liberality was of
a somewhat gratuitous character.
This much is certain, that in the next
campaign this raise of salaries will be
brought up against the Democratic
party with telling appeal to the
pocket OF the taxpayer. Now, it may
be that the salaries are too low. 1t
may be that to secure good
men it may be desirable TO
raise them. But if we are to

VACCINATION.
4 Timely Warning From the
state Board of Health.

The State Board OF Health, being
advised OF the gradual progress OF
smallpox in several parts of the State,
deems it its duty to warn the public
against delay in awaiting itself of the
only known prophylactic against the
disease, namely, vaccination. The
supply OF pure bovine virus upon the
coast is now ample, its use is almost
perfectly devoid OF danger, and its
protective power to guard the
system against the invasion OF
smallpox is unquestioned; il in a
few isolated instances, through the
popularity OF constitution, smallpox
is contracted after successful vaccina-
ton the disease is modified or rem
dered SO mild as TO be comparatively
without dariger. From the fact that
this State has been free from small
poN for so many years there is neces-
sarily q large number Of persons in
our midst who are susceptible to the
disea>e. Once smallpox is fairly
started this fresh food for its MAIN
tenance is sufficient to render the dis
ease epidemic in many places, and
buS lObc vi NdludDtt HIVES certainty .
To say nothing of this, its humani-
tartan aspect, the monetary loss an
epidemic would cause our citizens
and the injury it would produce il the
brilliant prospects OF our State is be-
yond computation.
These dire but positive results can
all be avoided, death averted and
perfect safety assured by efficient
vaccination.
The Board advises, therefore, i'm
mediate action. Let every compe-
tent physician be appointed in every
city and town in the State as public
vaccinators, and necessary offer this
God-given boon free to all. There is
no city, town or hamlet that can, for
pecuniary consideration, afford TO
harbor single indus for smallpox
when the means Of prevention are so
certain, so easy and so POSITIVELY etfec-
tual.
